As I’ve told you during the weekend, Microsoft’s first pack of updates for 8.1 RTM machines got leaked, giving users of x64 hardware configurations the chance to install them before the public launch.

Today, both the x86 and the Windows RT versions of the same pack reached the web, with Microsoft yet to announce them officially.

The 32-bit version of what’s being called Windows 8.1 RTM GA Rollup A has 130.8 MB and is said to come with the same improvements as the 64-bit sibling. The Windows RT download measures 127.75 MB in size and includes updates specifically aimed at tablets.

Only minor visual improvements will be noticed after deploying the new batch of updates, as Microsoft focused specifically on fixing bugs and improving the built-in features of the new OS version.
